I am interested in surveilling, cataloguing and creating images of anxiety.
!rough this exploration I will use mechanical and natural ways of distorting, repeating, and concealing images to communicate stress and anxiety.

OBSERVATIONS
!rough research, I found that I am interested in images of crowds. I experience episodes of anxiety in crowds of people and in the past have made a series of etchings to cope with this.
I am interested in images of hysteria and panic attacks and the symptoms that follow; including seizures, vertigo and hysteria.

PLANNING
!rough the beginning of this exploration I have been making personal pieces. Starting with observing my apartment building, and anxieties in city living.
Part of my exploration led to "lm and stop motion animations. I have been making short gif animations that make the viewer feel anxious. I will display the gif animations all together on a website and compile still images in a printed book.
